Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The embodiments herein relate to a method in an optical network unit ( 103 ), referred to as an ONU, for providing wireless connectivity capability to the ONU ( 103 ). The ONU ( 103 ) is comprised in a communications network ( 100 ). The ONU ( 103 ) is interconnected to an optical line terminal ( 101 ), referred to as an OLT, via a wireline communications link ( 104 ) and a wireless communications link ( 113 ). The ONU ( 103 ) is configured to support a sleep mode. The ONU ( 103 ) obtains information about entry into the sleep mode. The ONU ( 103 ) identifies whether the wireless communications link ( 113 ) is activated or deactivated, and activates the wireless communications link ( 113 ) if the wireless communications link ( 113 ) is identified as deactivated. The ONU ( 103 ) enters sleep mode, and provides wireless connectivity capability to the ONU ( 103 ) by means of the wireless communications link during the sleep mode.
